I would be in Italy working on a film, longing for something simple - like, God, I would just kill to be sitting at a barbecue having a beer right now.

I have my own worries and concerns and frustrations, but I'm doing something I love to do. My wife and kids are in good shape. What is there not to be happy about?

It's the most amazing feeling to hold your child in your arms.

You have a couple of buddies sleep over, and, you know, you play cops and robbers. That I'm getting paid to do it now is kind of funny.

I don't get surprised very often to be honest. I'm the kind of person who you couldn't throw a surprise party for because I'd figure it out.

Because I'm married and have kids, I feel like I sometimes get pegged as a choirboy or something, but I wouldn't exactly describe myself that way.

I look to my family for my support. I'm fortunate to have a big family.

I think I'm pretty smart on what I spend my money on. I still don't have a new car, I drive my old car that I've had forever. But I bought a house in downtown Chicago.

I guess John Lennon had it right: give peace a chance.

The computer seems easy because Apple makes the products so easy to use at home. It's the simple things, like getting the TV set up or getting the speakers to work. That drives me crazy.

I've grown up a little bit. I'm almost 40 years old now. But everyone was introduced to me when I was 18 and I looked like I was 15. I've been around a long time.

I was no longer able to hear the music that issues from a decent piece of prose.

I declareThat later on, Even in an age unlike our own, Someone will remember who we are.

To make this trivial world sublime, take half a gram of phanerothyme.

I think the writer's job is to paint the gray because no life is clearly defined.

You only pass through this life once, you don't come back for an encore.

Character is like my fingerprint; it identifies me from everyone else in the world. It says who I am and where I am headed.

My conscience is clear, because I know that in my conscience and in front of God I am guilty of nothing. I hope human justice will see at the same way.

There are huge challenges ahead for this country but also huge opportunities. We can make this country stronger and fairer.

Every day is Judgement Day. Always has been. Always will be.

It is pointless to say that this or that night was the worst of my life. I have so many bad nights to choose from that I've made none the champion.
